    It is probably because they are creating their own Linux FireTV OS, moving off Android. Amazon and Google have always been at odds. It is the reason Amazon created their crappy App Store, because Google would not allow their app in their store. I think Amazon is further distancing itself from Google.

      Is there any information on what they mean by a “Linux based OS”, like is it going to be “Linux” Linux or is it just going to be similar to android/ChromeOS? I’ve read a few articles about it but outside of it being called “Vega”, I can’t find any other information about it.
